Anybody Ever Turned a Blazer into a SWB?
I just picked up an '81 2WD Blazer in fair condition. I'm going to build a ProStreet truck. I'd like to make something different from the norm. I know that a Blazer has a wheelbase that's 11" shorter than a short bed, that's part of what I like about them. Ford made a Unibody truck back in the 60's where the bed and cab were made together. The only problem folks had with 'em were that the back window would pop out if the truck got twisted crossing ditches, etc. I'm kinda wondering if I could pull the top off of the Blazer, add a conventional tailgate, then graft the back of the cab/front of the bed onto the back of the Blazer cab and have the back of the cab right where the floor steps up in the Blazer. That would give me a super short shortbed with a unibody look. I guess it could even get a little crazier, use the Blazer tailgate as the divider so I could have a power back window that I could lower at the flip of a switch...
Sound nuts???
